How it compares on the bath & body shelf
The typical bath & body product on our shelf scores 4.6 out of 5, measured across 50 rated products. This one comes in at 4.7. That's mid-table. Star ratings won't separate this from its neighbours, so the decision comes down to pack size, price per unit and whether the specifics below suit you.
Behind that score sit 16,458 ratings, against a shelf median of 5,923. With that many opinions behind it the score won't move much, and it is difficult to manipulate. That is exactly why volume carries weight in our ranking.
The shelf runs from £1.20 to £16.91 and the midpoint is about £4.22. On price, this one is in the bottom third. Cheap with a middling rating is a fair trade if the specifics suit you, and it is the usual reason to pick something at this end of the shelf.
